Orienteering (Mendon Sprint A) 19:35 [5] *** 2.2 km (8:54 / km)
spiked:11/15c shoes: old 285 Roclite A
Second sprint of the day.
Things went ok except:
3 - not sure how but hit trail to N and missed completely. ???
5 - took trail around, hit it just fine, but a lot of unnecessary climbing involved then a drop back to flag.
9 - leaving #8, set out at a hard downhill trail run for #11, totally missed seeing #9 & #10 on the straight line in the green. Hit the open field before realizing my mistake and had to climb back up the hill, this time thrashing through thick dog-strangling vine to #9.
rest was fine, but a lot of time wasted on that map reading error...

Orienteering (Mendon Sprint B) 9:37 [5] ** 1.7 km (5:39 / km)
9c shoes: old 285 Roclite A
clean and fast all the way around. Took some risky straight routes through the green, but was able to find fast runnable ground in all cases so no loss of time on those.
Very satisfying to run a hard, technically clean race... even if it was only a mile in length.

Orienteering (Mendon Night O) 45:00 [1] *** 2.5 km (18:00 / km)
5c shoes: old 285 Roclite A
Night-O with the kids, steamy evening, took a nice pedestrian route to 5 controls, back with plenty of time to spare as we did not have a watch with us and it was a 60 minute score-O. Bailed on one control up a steep hillside when we got into some stinging nettles and decided to drop back down and stick to trailside controls...
